Animal Breeding Plans

First published in 1943, "Animal Breeding Plans" contains a detailed guide on animal breeding designed for students with experience of genetics, embryology, breeds, and stock judging. It aims to furnish the reader with a clear understanding of the means available for improving the heredity of farm animals, especially what each possible method will or will not do well. Highly recommended for modern farmers and animal breeders. Contents include: "Origin and Domestication of Farm Animals", "Consequences of Domestication", "Beginning of Pedigree Breeding Methods in the United States", "History of Animal Breeding Methods in the United States", "Relation of the Breed Association to Breed Improvement", "Genetic Principles in Animal Breeding", "Mendelian Basis of Inheritance", etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on farming.
